MATERIALS
& FINISHES
Craft Metals represents the worldwide market leaders for
architectural zinc, copper and aluminium - Rheinzink, KME
and Alcan Falzonal.
Rheinzink
Rheinzink is ‘titanium zinc’ developed for high quality
architectural cladding of roofs and facades. Rheinzink
combines high grade zinc with a 99.995% degree of purity
and alloying additives of copper and titanium.

Rheinzink adds character and elegance to any building.
Its potential lifespan exceeds 100 years and it is suitable for
sea climates. It is available in mill, pre-weathered and
graphite grey finishes.
Through weathering, Rheinzink develops a natural blue-grey,
green-grey colouring. This self-healing patina makes
Rheinzink extremely durable, corrosion resistant and low
maintenance. Additionally, Rheinzink allows intricate detailing
to be produced, making it eminently suitable for projects
ranging from restoration to high-tech futuristic designs. It is
environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable.
KME Copper
Another natural, non-ferrous product, KME Copper is versatile
and attractive. Through ageing, KME Copper attains its own
distinctive characteristics, which complement commercial,
institutional and residential projects alike.
KME Copper is ideally suited to long-strip roofing and facade
application and is available in TECU classic (mill finish),
TECU oxide (brown finish) and TECU patina finishes (green
finish). It has an extremely long life expectancy and is
maintenance free.
Alcan Falzonal aluminium
Alcan Falzonal aluminium completes the range of multi-metal
solutions offered by Craft Metals. Alcan Falzonal aluminium,
with its durable PVDF coating, allows for the use of indirect

fixing methods. This newly developed material is unique
compared to other aluminium products, as it is specially
